Book Club: Kicking Back – Nedum Onuoha Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest isn’t afraid to speak his mind and is deeply analytical about the world of football. Former Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers defender Nedum Onuoha joins Kate and Jim to reflect on his new book, Kicking Back!

With fascinating insight, Nedum pulls back the curtain on dressing room culture and some of its more sinister, insular habits, and discusses why he found the sport to be so resistant to change. Plus, why he fell out with Roberto Mancini, the worst training session he ever saw, and responds to some recent suggestions that QPR threw in the towel against Manchester City on * that * final day in 2012!

Nedum's book is now available to order in paperback here! Find us on socials @footballramble.

Ramble Meets… Hannes Þór Halldórsson Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

The Iceland national team’s run at Euro 2016 and qualification for the 2018 World Cup is one of football’s greatest ever underdog stories. Today, Andy speaks to one of the players at the heart of it all!

Hannes Þór Halldórsson was Iceland’s first choice between the sticks for a decade, despite only picking up his gloves when he was 20. From saving a Lionel Messi penalty at the World Cup, to delivering that defeat to England, you could barely write Hannes’ story it’s so unbelievable. And he should know: he’s now a filmmaker! He tells Andy all about a truly remarkable career.
